One Great Plate: Nutmeg

So here’s the thing, we are counting down to Thanksgiving and I refuse to celebrate Christmas before we get there. In the stores, avert your gaze from the snow-flecked ploys and concentrate on the feast. Nutmeg is usually thought of as a Christmas spice, but it really has some nice applications for the Turkey Day table and the drinking thereat. Head over to a Penzey’s and buy a little bag of the whole nutmegs, few simple swipes with a microplane or grater over the hard, smallish nut is all you need to release a majorly potent dose of the season.
